Abstract :
Today´s laser range finders are typically either fixed-beam sensors or single-scanline laserscanners. Multilevel-scanners which allow a quasi-3D measurement are under development, but not available today. This paper describes a method to modify single-level laserscanners in order to get multilevel measurements. Two applications in which this technique was successfully used are described
